Is that the one that uses

for source and destination?Yes.
Horrible tool. Writing something custom from scratch in whatever programming language has got to be more accessible to the average user than that. But it's one of the few things you've got when you're trying to fix why the system isn't mounting your disks right and consequently isn't loading the GUI or the network driver userland…

@pie_flavor I still think that
dd
is about the worst, as it has a thoroughly weird syntax in the first place, options that look extremely similar to each other, and is used in places where getting anything wrong will destroy the contents of your hard disk irreparably. It's true “put anecho
in front of it first to make sure you don't fire it off before you're 100% sure it says what it should” territory.There's a reason it's sometimes nicknamed Disk Destroyer.

@pleegwat That's a feature. It prevents use of the command, which is generally the correct day to day usage of
dd
.

I have no fucking clue what happened, but in theory a command-line interface might have had more to say...

I'd bet it did, but the GUI did not understand what it was saying.

It's not a judgement.
